Kickstarter Katchup – 1st December 2012 (Rock, Paper, Shotgun)
“I doff my comical Santa hat to Maia and Sui Generis, both of which are hugely ambitious and required more than small potatoes to fund their dreams – and both convinced the world to pledge. They’re not the only winners though and even the week’s loser (I might change that word in future Katchups because I’m a softie) has a positive spin, with hardy developers planning to continue their hard work. Bless ‘em all.”

Frog Fractions (TIGSource)
“When Twinbeard Studios’ Frog Fractions was released in October, I played it for only a few minutes before dismissing it as a cute parody—a humorous dig at the multitude of terrible edutainment games. Luckily, I was recently persuaded to check it out again and was rewarded with an extremely unique and surprising experience. I don’t want to say too much about the game for fear of spoiling it, but I will say this: It’s worth finishing.”

Drox Operative: Dungeon Crawling In Space (Game Wisdom)
“The action RPG genre has seen a wave of new talent in the last few years from the indie community. Soldak Entertainment may not have the reputation of Blizzard, but that doesn’t mean that their games are any less innovative. Their last title: Din’s Curse combined ARPG gameplay in a non static world: Forcing the player to balance dungeon crawling with saving a town from all manner of attacks. With Drox Operative, Soldak is setting their sights on a much grander setting: The Universe.”
